I decided to test the ankle this morning. The odd thing was that while walking down the stairs I noticed that my right ankle (I rolled the left one) was more sore than the left.

Larry and Wayne weren't at the corner so I walked towards Larry's house. I noticed Wayne's truck in front of Larry's house and walked up. We waited a bit, but Larry's house looked dark so we headed out and wandered the streets for about 4.6 miles in a light sprinkle/rain. My ankles felt pretty good.

Sounds like a good time to let those ankles heal. I'm looking forward to getting together for noon runs. That would be so cool if Wayne, Larry and Kevin could make it too. I think I could talk one of my co-workers into it as well as he said he wants to run a marathon this year. Heck, if we can get enough people interested, we can petition the site management to put in some showers for us (perhaps that plea would be more persuasive if a dozen or so of us stopped by their office after a hard run, dripping sweat over everything and generally stinking up the place :)

Paul glad to hear the ankles felt pretty good.

Hey I hope things go well with the new job, we'll certainly miss you around here but I'm sure that Novell's loss will be the Church's gain.

Take care of those ankles and I'll see you at the races and maybe hopefully on a few Saturday morning runs now and again. Hey are you planning on running Painters?

Kerry - I'm looking forward to figuring out noon runs. It will be great if we can get a good group going out regularly. My first priority will be to figure out what the heck I'm doing at my new job and getting to know my new team.

Tom - I'll miss the Novell noon runs. I suspect come spring you and Nathan will be pushing each other to new heights. Yes, I'm planning on running Painters.
